My luxurious milk soap recipe combines with an invigorating, refreshing, and woodsy scent reminiscent of a Finnish Sauna.

Looking for all natural farmhouse luxury soap? This is it! You deserve to feel beautiful, clean, and natural! This is the feeling I strive for for myself and for you also.

What does all natural soap mean? It means that some ingredients are organic but all are free of chemicals or additional additives, preservatives, artificial scents, colors, etc...

This is a hefty 4.5 oz soap bar made up of palm oil, olive oil, coconut oil, lard, lye, milk, eucalyptus oil, cedar oil, tea tree oil, peppermint oil and Russian blue cambrian clay.

The clay has wonderful properties for skin enhancement and gives off a lovely color. The whole milk is ultra moisturizing. (I never use lotion after bathing with it.)

Let me know if you have any questions!

And don't be afraid to take a dip in the lake after sauna time! :)

You will also have free reign at my 'scrap' pile. (If you love salvaged lumber as much as I, you know it is more like a treasure!) We will be painting signs and other projects with this wood. 

Fill your pickup with furniture from home that needs painting! Yes, you will have the opportunity to try out a bunch of different techniques and you will want pieces to work on! I know you don't need an excuse to get out yard saling, but if it helps you can use this one on the hubby! ;)

I will help you discover your style. (If you think you don't have one don't worry, we'll work hard to unearth it!) 

It will be a day of sunshine (hopefully), painting, and comradeship!

We will also enjoy lunch in my garden........ a homemade, delicious, romantic, and nourishing meal to keep up your energy for a full day of painting!

I can't wait to welcome you into my home, yard, and garden!!

These are the moments I capture through these pictures. This is the story I tell.

Thank you so much for visiting Post Road Vintage!

A guide to helping you create a high quality mason jar soap dispenser!

Excerpt from the book-

"From the moment I envisioned a soap pump on top of a mason jar, to that first crude one my husband built me, I could have never imagined that we would build, assemble, and ship thousands of them.

That first one built for my own sink was a time consuming one. Adorable but not quite worthy of being sold, and not even able to hold up to my (at that time) small family. This was the very first time I had seen a soap dispenser made out of a mason jar. So while there were tutorials and ideas out there on the internet, I had no idea. It would have served me well to follow one with that very first try!

After looking around online and seeing what others were offering, I knew we could create a product that was superior in quality and craftsmanship. Did we fall and fail along the way? You betch-ya. But here is where I will share all the ways and times we messed up so that you can avoid making these mistakes yourself! 

Whether you are purchasing this for your personal use, as gifts, or even to sell at shows, boutiques, or online........ this is your go-to source for all things mason-jar-soap-dispensers!"

This 20 page manual includes beautiful colored photos, instructions, sources, and every option and mistake we've made along the way. It will help you choose which way will work best for YOU to build a mason jar soap dispenser! Upon purchase you will immediately be emailed a link to the book. At this time save or download to your computer to print off or keep forever to refer back to.

 Work with me in person in Forest, VA on October 5th 2013! Be a part of a small workshop taught by yours truly at the Vintage Charming Market!

*The first five to join will be gifted one of my Homebound Magazines!

The course will be held Saturday Oct 5th from 9:30-3:00 at the site of the Marketplace in Forest, VA. Make plans to travel with friends and stay for the weekend. There will be other workshops, as well as vendors with beautiful antiques, vintage, and artisan wares.

What to expect-

We will be building and painting a small toolbox/caddy from salvaged lumber. (No woodworking experience required. I will have the boards cut, you will be painting and I will help you assemble it.) I will be sharing with you my favorite painting techniques and design inspiration.

We will also be painting/refinishing vintage frames to create your own personalized mood or dream board...... as we are working we will be talking a lot about our dreams. How to visualize them, believe them to be possible, and actualize them in your own life! I am so excited to do this with you! If you are like me you often end at the dreaming. I will share with you what has worked (and hasn't) for me in the past and how to move forward into action with courage and a strong heart. I am so excited to make this journey with you! I will also be sharing my own dreams and vulnerabilities so that we can take courage in each other!

All supplies included! You may be asked to bring some basic tools, such as a paint brushes, etc...

Dream.Believe.Take Action

Thank you so much! Can't wait to meet you!

Warmly,

Heather
